Elnea's Art - finally updated
Man, oh, man... sometimes things just get lost in the shuffle. Over the past week, Elnea's created a bunch of new artwork, from a new avatar for a friend, to an image she never really wanted to make public (she says she can't finish it), to an image that started life looking funny, but was nicely fixed when she flipped MC's head around, to an image you can caption yourself. She's doing quite a bit of work with her tablet these days... and it shows! Enjoy. (Louis Wu 23:44:22 UTC) (permalink)

Blow Me Away Wrapup
You may notice that the Katrina links on the right side of our main page have disappeared; these are gone because we've officially closed the books on the Blow Me Away charity auction. (It's not that helping hurricane victims is any less important than it was yesterday - it's that there are many, many good causes that need your help, and now that we're not actively participating in one of them as an organization, it makes less sense for us to promote one over any others.) This auction was a fantastic success - we raised just under $11,000 for hurricane relief. Congratulations to EVERYONE involved! You can see the financial breakdown on this page. Two personal notes - I'd like to apologize to Phil Shiel, who is, at this point, the only buyer who hasn't yet recieved his winnings; it's nobody's fault (turns out that shipping a nearly-life-sized statue of a gun-toting, armor-wearing figure across international borders is not as easy as it once was), but it's still no fun to be waiting this long... and I'd like to point out to the rather large number of people who sent us mail that we were going to be ripped off, that most of the buyers had no eBay feedback and were using brand-new accounts... EVERY SINGLE AUCTION was won by someone who paid the price they'd agreed to pay. There were a number of hold-ups in payment - but in every case, it was PayPal being a bit... overzealous, not someone trying to rip us off. Overall, this was a really positive experience, and it gives me a warm feeling to think that we helped donate a five-figure check to folks who need help pretty badly... and all of it prize generation, selling, buying - it was all done by gamers.

A Threesome With Cheerleaders.
Last night, Red vs Blue Episode 67, "Setting a High Bar", was released for sponsors (yeah, it's been a little while). The general public can find free copies on Monday, most likely. The two separate story arcs continue to wend their way through the twisted landscapes of... oh, never mind. It's funny, go watch. Psychophant was the first to tell us.

GTR's Xbox Community Awards 2005
Gamertag Radio has released their first annual Xbox Community Awards, a nearly hour-long ceremony which includes an interview with J Allard, a sneak preview of the Project Gotham Racing 3 soundtrack, and music by Tonedeff, Chemical Brothers and 88mph. We even won something - we took 'Best Fansite Based on a Game' (though it sounds like we were nearly beaten out by a ham sandwich). Go listen! The awards episode is in .mp3 format, and weighs in at 36.5 mb. (Louis Wu 15:02:56 UTC) (permalink)
